No one, not even Zoey and Levi, could have guessed that the nerdy mad scientist they knew had developed a weapon capable of killing Supreme class warriors.
How could it even be possible?
The information about Supreme class warriors was all kept in Dragonites’ most secretive archives room.
How did an ordinary person like Jared gain access to classified information to develop such a formidable weapon?
Alas, that was just how crazy the world was!
Prodigies did exist, after all.
The more something seemed impossible, the more there would be someone trying to achieve the impossible.
That was the reality of life.
There were still many people capable of doing the most unbelievable things.
An ordinary person would only scoff at the power of a Supreme class fighter when he had a Trump card in his hand.
Unfortunately, Levi failed to think that far.
From the outside, South Hampton’s Deity Lab looked just like any other small, ordinary laboratory.
However, once going past a secret door, one would realize there was a whole other world to it.
The core of Deity Lab was underground, and it had gone undetected by South Hampton’s relevant authorities.
And it was precisely this part of Deity Lab that became the base of where Jared did his research for the superweapon.
At that moment, Jared was boiling with anger as he ranted away, “Last time, I could never hold up to him, so I understand if you didn’t like me then! Now, he’s utterly worthless while I’m standing at the pinnacle, yet you still push me away! Times have changed! I’m the only one you should be with, not Levi! Why do you keep defending him?”
Jared couldn’t, for his life, fathom why Zoey rejected him even with his current accomplishments.
He didn’t even care for Supreme class warriors who were supposedly the strongest in the world.
Levi, who was merely an ordinary man, had even less right to be his opponent.
Even though Jared was also an ordinary man, his current status far exceeded any other person’s. All he had to do was say the word, and many countries would be fighting to recruit him.
Even Supreme class warriors would be following him around like puppies.
“Mr. Schmidt, please calm down! There’s a team leader from Triple Group here to see you,” Jared’s assistant announced.
Jared regained his composure before calmly replying, “Very well, show him in!”
Nedley Glover, and a handful of senior management personnel from Triple Group, were soon ushered into Jared’s laboratory.
“Get right to the point,” Jared said impatiently.
Knowing he had the upper hand, Jared had no intention to hide his arrogance even with Triple Group around.
“Triple Group would like to acquire the superweapon that you have built, as many as there are. We’d also like to buy all of the technology and engineers working on it!”
As soon as Nedley said those words, Jared’s gaze immediately darkened.
Before Jared could reply, Nedley added, “If you agree to it, Triple Group is ready to do whatever it takes to fulfill all your terms and conditions!”
Jared knew it was a straightforward transaction. As long as he agreed to sell his weapon, Triple Group would give him anything he wanted.
They would also agree to any terms that Jared had.
As tempting as it sounded, Jared outright rejected it. “No, no, no. There’s no way I’ll sell the core technology and my engineers! Those are the foundations of my business!”
Sensing his reluctance, Nedley quickly replied, “Mr. Schmidt, we’re willing to give everything and anything. Whatever requests you have, we’ll fulfill them to your satisfaction! Please think about it again…”
Jared was about to reject him once again when he suddenly thought about Zoey.
There was a moment of silence as he pondered his options.
“All right, I think I can consider it, but I’m going to need some time. Besides, I don’t have to sell it to you. We can always cooperate. With Triple Group’s investment and me handling the technology and production, I can manufacture as many weapons as you like!”
Nedley’s eyes lit up as the gears in his head started turning. What Jared had counter-offered was rather feasible too.
“I hope we can receive your favorable reply soon, Mr. Schmidt!”
